Dear fellow #chronicallyill folks, is anyone else developing new symptoms or whole new conditions every few months? I feel pretty hopeless and alone with this since I barely have friends anymore thanks to this. My newest acquisition seems to be restless legs and trying to sleep at night just became hell on earth.
I don‘t know what my goal is with this post. Maybe venting and trying to feel less lonely, I guess.

Long COVID triggers sustained immune responses and mast cell activation, leading directly to joint stiffness and degraded connective tissue. Rest and strictly paced, low-impact movements are safer than intense physical therapy. #LongCovid #ChronicIllness #HealthScience #JointPain

Today I dolled myself up to go to my cousin's birthday party in Roskilde 🩷 It went.... okay? It's so awkward with my dad and his wife, who I didn't know were coming until they walked through the door. I'm tired of being "nice" to protect of someone who has never protected me, not even when I was a child. So just say things as they are 🤷‍♀️ Like when my aunt and I talked about sleep and I said that I have C-PTSD and have nightmares every night, due to my traumatic upbringing. I don't see why it should be hidden? It's the truth 🤷‍♀️ But I'll probably get trouble for saying that out loud and writing it here. But I really don't care anymore. It is what it is 🩷

Getting ready for my MRI turned into a wild ride! From mundane check-in to unexpected quiz about my life, plus the usual sarcoidosis info. But then, the questions went off the rails! Who knew a scan could be so surprising?

Be kind. Be caring.
You never know what someone is carrying behind that smile.
As someone who’s had 5 major spinal surgeries, lives with chronic pain, nerve damage & bowel disease—sometimes that smile is a mask.
Life is tough.

At 16, a quiet walk home became the scariest night of my life—and the moment I found the fighter inside me. Fear turned into fire, and courage showed up without asking permission.
